the good dad
waits
waits for us to catch up
tells us to go slow
no hurry
likewise
we wait quietly
for His solutions
His answers
He is a friend
a brother
yet behind the curtain, He keeps a throne
if we cry, He comforts us
there are those with spiderweb minds who
secret themselves in complex books
or
one could say
hide out behind the back fence
alone
scribbling even more complexities
destined for a spot on long shelves
among other complex choices
I enjoy watching Him waiting
as I make my way His way
my stride is less expansive
my mind is at peace
finally, He stoops and
gathers me up into His arms
with a smile
and we make our way around the lake
again
the good dad
